Description
A Deanston of a 10 year old chosen by the bottler Best Dram, distilled in 2009, from cask 109, bottled at 56.5%, one of 232 bottles. Deanston is a waxy, honeyed Highland malt made in a former mill on the banks of the Teith. Its wash is fermented long, for a fruity, estery character.
Run through the bulbous stills with their upward sloping lyne arms, for the waxy, honeyed make Deanston is known for. It was matured in refill ex-Bourbon oak, a soft vanilla beneath the honey. Through integration spirit and wood marry, vanillin settling into a rounded vanilla as ethyl esters lend a riper apple and pear. Refill oak lets the waxy, honeyed Deanston character lead the way. The distillery sits on the River Teith near Doune, between Stirling and the Highlands. It runs an open top mash tun, two wash and two spirit stills of a bulbous shape. It was mothballed in 1982 and revived in 1990 under Burn Stewart.
At its natural 56.5% it is concentrated. Baked apple, honey and a creamy malt, with a soft vanilla from the oak. A baked apple and a gentle clove lift it. It finishes long, waxy and warming. This is Deanston, the mill turned distillery on the Teith.
